Back from vacation

So much fun... soooooo hard to come back.  One nice mitigating factor is that in DC spring has sprung and cherry blossoms are everywhere!

And more fun book events on the horizon:  this weekend, fun for the little guys with the NO BUTTS ABOUT IT bookmark contest at the Chinn Park library in Virginia!  (check my events page for details)  And next weekend - Sunday April 18 at 1 pm - Vintage Veronica at Politics and Prose!

And for those of you who were not able to make it to The Garment District, let me just say that there will be photos soon... it was a fabulous event, and everyone who attended got books AND new (old) threads.  Win win!

This Saturday (3/27) Book Party at The Garment District!

I'll be reading and signing Vintage Veronica at The Garment District (200 Broadway, Cambridge, MA) from 1-3 pm.  There'll be giveaways, discounts, and CAKE too!  Come on down!

The Party's... Still On

Well, yesterday was Vintage Veronica's "book birthday" (cue fanfare!) and much fun was had.  There was a fantastic Book Birthday Party, thrown by the inimitable Mitali Perkins in twitterland.  And there was a real Veronic(ocktail) hour at Funxion, a lovely little organic bar - sounds like an oxymoron, I know - that conveniently launched itself yesterday on the same block as my office.  I had every intention of photographing my beloved book sitting pretty next to a tall drink, but somehow it just never happened. 

Reader, please know that much fun was had, even in the absence of documentation.

Today, well, the party is over... and yet the party continues -- or perhaps you might say that the after-party has begun over at Bookmark, the First Book blog.  They're hosting a book giveaway, so sashay on over there and comment and you just might be a winner. 

I mean you ARE a winner, but you might also win a book signed by me.
